Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. In the mid-to-late 19th century, many countries were experimenting with the use of iron in fortifications. This book, primarily concerned with the use of iron for coastal defense, examines the state of affairs of ironclad forts in England. The author presents an assessment of the defenses implemented in England from both a technical and an economic standpoint. The work provides an overview of existing weapons and armor, as well as the state of heavy artillery and casemate design. The author concludes that the methods of construction used by the English were sound, and that ironclad forts could be a viable and cost-effective way to defend against enemy attacks.
